Covid 19 and Black Fungus
Hi All,
I'm just wondering if doctors are giving antibiotics to control a secondary infection why they're not giving any medication for black fungus as a secondary infection in Corona Positive patients?
Please leave your valuable answers, Thanks

Allopathic doctors give steroids in correct doses. They also monitor blood sugar levels.
Hence the risk of mucor (black fungus) is low.
Hence no need of preventive antifungal therapy.
Non-allopathic quacks are giving excess doses of steroids. They have no knowledge of controlling blood sugar.
Hence the black fungus.
Mucor treatment medicines are costly, with side effects on kidney.
The infection takes months to resolve.
Hence they have to be used by trained allopathy doctors in correct doses and with renal monitoring.
Allopathy doctors follow a standard international protocol.
